Braewood

Lovely property with wonderful views of the mountains with sheep and deer in the land surrounding bungalow.

The property itself was clean and well equipped. Fantastic shower in the family bathroom. Only minor downsides were poor lighting in both bathrooms and no 'useful information' book with wifi code, which bin to use etc.

Hard to find .

signage very poor .photo is from rear of property front is just trees so hard to spot went past 3 times . Main bed very small double i am over 6 ft and struggled. Cupboards were clean .facilities on the whole were very good. There were no instructions for anything else.g. in case of emergency. Could not operate the T.v. no instructions just said low signal etc . Does need some t.l.c there is mold in the en suite .

Great cottage in lovely surroundings and wildlife.

could do with instructions or guide to cooker as numbers worn out on dials making use of cooker guesswork.virtual instant very hot water could do with a warning sign.patio doors could only be unlocked and opened from outside,all in all simple notices of explanation would be helpfull.otherwise great cottage and time spent.

All in all a very comfortable week spent Braewood, the only problem being was that the cooker hob was not working, however on reporting it to the owners it was sorted out in quick time, by giving us a temporary means of cooking and then arranging for a brand new cooker and hob to be fitted, can't ask for better than that.

Stunning scenery all round, Fallow Deer in the field, red squirrels and hares were also seen. The Highlands as usual are stunning. You definitely need a car to get around up there but well worth it and a trip to Sky will leave you in wonder.

We enjoyed a relaxing week at Braewood.

The bungalow was clean, warm and had everything that you needed. The water was really hot and the showers had really good pressure to them. There was an abundance of wildlife to be seen around the property including a hare, red squirrels, woodpecker and deer which would graze in the fields for hours at a time. The Whitebridge Hotel was a really friendly and relaxing place whether it was just for a drink or for a meal. We would definitely like to return in the future.

Lovely cottage in a tranquil location.

Views were amazing, had deer walking past the property virtually every day. The pool table was a bonus. The only issue was guessing the oven temperature due to the numbers being worn away.

We found the cottage clean, well equipped and the location was ideal for our holiday.

The only issue was guessing the oven temperature, but we managed. Enjoyed our stay and would return.

We had an absolutely lovely stay so much wildlife in the grounds it was amazing there was everything we needed in the kitchen and the views from the patio windows was stunning highly recommend this place to stay

Second stay here , fantastic location, lovely and warm of an evening after long walks every day , everything we could want with a hiking week .

Sec

Fabulous open views across to the river and the hills

Braewood was the ideal base for exploring all that Loch Ness, Inverness and the surrounding areas of Scotland has to offer.

The property is a perfect size for a family and I found for myself that it had everything I needed to have a relaxing and enjoyable week on holiday. It has great views and a lovely pub just 5 mins down the road that serves amazing food

We were 5 people and had a great stay at Braewood.

The location is perfect to go to different places: Isle of Skye, Glencoe, Inverness of course, and many other sites. The house is very clean, comfortable and with everything needed to have a pleasant stay. The owner is nice and easily joined. I warmly recommend.

Lovely cottage , all amenities catered for , nice and peaceful and secluded, ideal for exploring the area , we will return.

Cottage was lovely clean and comfortable the only gripe I had was there was no information about anything which I have always found in every other property I've stayed in place is great for touring star gazing and wildlife watching will be back again in the near future

Fantastic cottage we also had amazing weather to boot .

Just the cooker couldn't get grill to work but we used a pan . Everything you could want or need even the pool table was a bonus . Photos don't do the place justice far far prettier than it looks on sykes . We will definitely stay here again the ride down into Fort Augustus was stunning a lovley friendly little village thanks braewood and thank-you again sykes fabulous

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The kids enjoyed exploring in the trees round the property. Wheelchair friendly. Great veiws of the stars at night. An adventure for those of us who don't have an electric cooker, the instructions were good and we did manage to cook a Sunday dinner

This property is in a lovely, secluded location in the Highlands, perfect if you need to escape.

It's 15 mins from Fort Augustus where you can find all the amenities you need. The view from the property is beautiful, you can spend a lot of time wildlife spotting - as well as the cattle and sheep, there were hares, deer, and Ospreys. Would highly recommend having a meal at the Whitebridge hotel up the road (1 mile), great hosts, food and atmosphere. The cottage itself was clean and comfortable. It could have been great if there was a little more attention to detail. It was disappointing to see that comments other visitors have made have not been heeded - the oven still doesn't have markings on it, making it a guessing game. It's an Ikea oven so we looked it up online to try and work it out. The shower in the main bathroom does not get hot, and thus was rendered useless for the stay. Some smaller things like loose fittings, but nothing major. Overall a nice base to explore the Highlands, but just needs that finer detail sorting.

Lovely cottage very clean and tidy everyone in our party enjoyed the stay very much,nice touch with the pool table.

The only issue with the property was the main toilet shower was cold even with using the temperature controls, just wouldn't heat up, other than that it was just perfect for us,thank you.

Wonderful location for us.

Braewood is a lovely house, all facilities provided were great and well appointed for our needs, good water pressure for the shower and the WiFi worked very well. Views across the fields were brilliant and the ever four-legged moving scenery was fabulous to observe, thank you.

Big fat tick for peaceful solitude and wildlife - red squirrels, deer, hares all around the bungalow.

We had a really lovely stay, what’s not to love about the highlands of Scotland … outstanding. The only minor gripe was that the place needed a little tlc and thought for guests. A shaving point, shower caddy, loo brush etc and don’t get me started on the oven! The control panel had no markings so dinner was sometimes interesting/burnt/undercooked. Having said that I would definitely rebook as it’s a beautiful and relaxing location.

We had a great stay in Braewood it is perfectly located to explore all of the Great Glen and beyond.

It is lovely and peaceful with fantastic views and we were visited by lots of local wildlife. Our only niggles really concern the kitchen. The lighting is very poor making preparing even simple meals a challenge in the dim light. As a party of 5 we found it difficult to find enough undamaged or matching crokery. The symbols have worn off the oven making cooking a bit of a guessing game. PS some oven gloves would be helpful.

Extremely beautiful location with lots of greeneries and mountain view.

Saw lots of bunnies and sheep in the front field of the cottage. There is a lovely stream on walking distance. Very well maintained, modernised and clean cottage with all the facilities. Absolutely loved it.

The most beautiful cottage with a view we have ever seen.

Pictures don't even justify. They don't even put any pictures of the majestic view from the cottage . Will love to go back.

Modern cottage, excellent amenities.

Breath taking views.

We found the Bungalow to be exactly as the picture showed.

We tried the village pub for my sister and brother in laws anniversary so friendly and chatty excellent meal. So much wildlife to just out of windows stags deer Red squirrels hares wonderful would definitely vesit again xxc

It was a lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

We had a fabulous stay at braewood!

Beautiful surroundings & everything you need for a relaxing stay in a beautiful area of Scotland. We will definitely be returning. Yes, the 4G is non existent & no phone service either which can be a pain when trying to plan day trips etc but a mile up the road, there is WiFi available at the Whitebridge Hotel, a perfect excuse for a glass of wine while planning trips. The pictures really do not do it justice.

Well stocked kitchen (but no coffee pot) and good sized garage for storage of bikes etc.

no reception for vodafone but some for EE. Could do with better signage for first visit, but more than made up by the deer and red squirrels you share the garden with.

Braewood was very clean, comfortable and had amazing views with plenty of wildlife.

A good spot for exploring the area and a great pub nearby. We liked it so much we booked again for next year before we left. Yes it didn’t have a phone signal or wifi but with other houses nearby and the hotel up the road we didn’t feel isolated.

Would be good to have a landline.

The cooker/oven did not have any graduation to help it. Most things where fine. The Sky box only had free view. No Sky at all. I do love the isolation.

Cell phones out of service area, no wifi, no landline, so no possibillity to reach anyone in case of imergency

The cottage was as described, however, the remoteness and road conditions were not what we were expecting.

It also was not as welcoming as most Sykes aquired cottages. It doesn't come close to the cottage we stayed in in Northern Ireland and both have four ticks. The cottage was very spacious and comfortable. Not having wifi is a drawback and never could get a signal on the TV. We were there to sightsee so that wasn't a big issue. There was no information booklet with nearby stores and/or restaurants and to operate appliances. Ovens are different across the pond, but we figured it out. We had stopped in Fort Augustus and bought what we thought we would need. We had also read about the Whitebridge Hotel restaurant. We recommend it but make a reservation!! One evening they were full and couldn't seat us. We did manage to get takeout burgers! The washer and dryer were greatly appreciated. Also, no instructions on the gate. There were sheep all around the cottage so we made sure the gate was always closed. This is a great place if you want to just relax and enjoy your surroundings. If you are sightseeing plan on a lot of driving. Someplace to hang wet towels in the master bath would be nice.

Braewood was in a wonderful position, it is remote and peaceful, for a get away from it all holiday.

The views from the back were amazing and we had many wild visitors including hares and red squirrel.The weather for our two weeks was unusually good for Scotland .

the lodge was great.

we like the facilities and the cleaniness. But it was a hassle for us to find the place. We were in stress and hurry to sleep on that night in order to complete our cross Loch Ness swim on that day. It wasn't easy that there was no mobile phone nor internet signal at all there at the location and tried to reach your service to figure out the direction and details.

Braewood is a lovely house.

It is much larger inside than the photographs imply. It is a comfortable property and has everything you need. No WiFi, also mobile signal pretty weak, but it was rather nice not to have these things. Sheep and cows roam freely around the property so the gate should be kept shut at all times. Great location for getting away from it all, but close enough to lots of walks, castles etc. Fort Augustus is the nearest town and Inverness about an hour away. We ate in the local Whitebridge Hotel a couple of times and would highly recommend it. All in all a wonderful holiday - great weather (apart from about half an hour of rain). Would definitely go back.

The easy of booking and arriving at our holiday house was fantastic.

The description and photos don’t do the house justice, it exceeded expectations, the views were stunning, house was like home from home.kitchen well equipped, toys for toddler which she thought it was like Christmas going into the garage to find a slide, play tent and more. Although sky tv is advertised it was painfully slow but this added to our highland experience. No WiFi no phone signal and limited tv makes u go out walk, play cards, scrabble. Really enjoyed our break, would definitely recommend this house and look forward to returning one day. Thank you

We had a nice stay This house is a very clean and pleasant house We even got a surprise from the owners and that was very attentive Everything worked very well and we will definitely book again in this house Thanks again for the nice stay

This is our second stay at braewood we absolutely love it.

Peace & tranquillity which is exactly what we want. The bungalow is modern & equipped with everything you need for a great stay.

Wonderful holiday.

Great views and location

Good location and a great property, thanks.

A beautiful cottage with everything you could possibly need for a wonderfully, tranquil, relaxing holiday.
